Story:
Giri (Raj Tarun), dedicated to reuniting missing people with loved ones, marries Shailaja (Malvi Malhotra), an orphan. Discovering her pregnancy, his joy turns to shock when he is tasked to find a missing woman, revealed to be the real Shailaja. Will he find out his wife’s true identity? Needs to be seen in the film.
What about on-screen performances?
Raj Tharun delivers a decent performance in the lead role but feels very repetitive and offers nothing new when compared to his past films. Also, his script selection is not up to the mark and he surely needs to do better film for a lasting career.
Malvi Malhotra is visually appealing, but her performance is unremarkable. But her chemistry with Raj is good on screen.
Mannara Chopra as Radha Bhai is just there for the glamour dose and has nothing much to do in the film.
Makarand Deshpande is miscast in the role of the antagonist. His part doesn’t have the weight that is needed in this plot.
Ankita Thakur, Raghu Babu, Pragathi, Raja Ravindra, John Vijay, Prudhvi, Thagubothu Ramesh, Bithri Satti, & others are wasted in routine impactless roles.
What about off-screen talents?
The story by AS.Ravi Kumar Chowdary is completely outdated and offers nothing fresh with the writing. It is a very familiar plot line of an orphan, his marriage, and a problem related to his love life. It actually feels like a film that should have come out 10-15 years ago.
The screenplay too is poorly written and lacks novelty. The stale humor and uninspired writing leave the audience tiresome in the theatres. The first half introduces the hero, his love story, and a few cliched comedy bits. The interval twist also fails to raise any curiosity and the second half falters further with routine comedy sequences and an unrealistic action climax.
Director AS. Ravi Kumar Chowdary does a pretty disappointing job with his presentation and his narrative. His writing lacks originality and he has shortcomings in almost every aspect of the craft coz of the predictable nature of the script.
The dialogues are not up to the mark and fail to leave any impact on the proceedings.
The cinematography by Jawahar Reddy is good and the edit by Basava Pydi Reddy needed to be more crisper.
The songs by JB & Bhole Shavali are forgettable and not even one songs leave a mark. Also, the background score fails to elevate the film.
The production values by Suraksh Entertainments Media are good.
What’s Hot?
* Raj Tarun’s Performance
* Lead Pair Chemistry
What’s Not?
* Poor Writing & Outdated Story
* Routine & Predictable Screenplay
* Forgettable Songs & Background Score
* Cliched Comedy Portions
* Zero Emotional Connect
* Weak Characterizations
Verdict: On the whole, Tiragabadara Saami is a silly and senseless romantic drama that looks completely outdated from the writing to the presentation. In fact, the film looks like an act of revenge on the audience.
